India - New Delhi girl, 5, raped/tortured for two days

(I'm posting this in Crimes in the News b/c of the other India cases)

Indian girl, 5, in serious condition after being raped, tortured for 2 days, officials say

A 5-year-old girl was in serious condition Saturday after being raped and tortured by a man who held her in a locked room in India's capital for two days, officials said.

The girl went missing Monday and was found Wednesday by neighbors who heard her crying in a room in the same New Delhi building where she lives with her parents, said Delhi police official Deepak Mishra. The girl was found alone locked in a room and left for dead, he said.

The girl suffered severe internal injuries, as well as cuts and bite marks on her face and torso...

This is just heinous. Absolutely horrific.

Can anything be done in India to put a stop to this? Stricter punishment? Less corrupt LE?!?

We've all read horrific things on here, & this one ranks right up there with the very worst.

From the article above:

Rights activists and officials said the girl's parents went to police Monday to report their daughter was missing, but that police refused to register a case. The parents are poor construction workers who had migrated to the city some years ago in search of work.
"The police did nothing. They did not register a complaint, the first step before they can begin investigations," said Ranjana Kumari, a women's rights activist and social scientist. "This heinous crime could have been prevented if police had begun investigations promptly."
Protesters reportedly demanded the arrest of the police officers who allegedly tried to cover up the case by offering the victim's parents money, The Times of India reported.

How on earth do people manage to find partners in crime to do such horrible things? It seems like it's a bit risky to mention in a casual conversation. "Hey, would you by any chance be interested in kidnapping and torturing an innocent little child with me? No? Please don't tell the police I said so, it was just a joke."

I can not describe in words the extent of my disgust...
I am heartbroken for the little girl...

I just cant imagine. An eye for an eye seems just.

Quote from the article:

The little girl was abducted on 15 April and attacked in a locked room for more than 48 hours, police said. She was rescued by neighbours who heard her cries on 17 April.
